Cthulhu Project : Let's Make Unmaintainable Code

This is a really good idea, but it.. died ?
Who wants to create the organization ? (we'll be using github since teams can have unlimited number of members at the price of 0 Gold) If no one offers then I'll create one, be worned thought, I still know very few about github so I might make some mistakes

BTW Lua introduced goto statements in Lua 5.2 but does LÖVE have that version ?

BTW Lua introduced goto statements in Lua 5.2 but does LÖVE have that version ?

I know 0.8.0 uses 5.1, and as far as i can tell the 0.9.0 changelog has no mention of lua 5.2. So no.

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=76646 says: "LuaJIT is now being used by LÖVE by default. "

LuaJIT does have a few features from Lua 5.2 enabled by default, but in general it was built on top of Lua 5.1's API.

Yep goto is in the list.

• goto is a keyword and not a valid variable name anymore.

Tested it and it worked on 0.9.0, yey

Before anyone creates a team on github we should know who is going to participate (right from the start), because I don't want to see a project like this with 0 members

If anyone participate I'll participate too.

In regular LuaJIT 2.0 (which LÖVE uses by default in 0.9.0), goto works but it can also be used as a variable name, so as to not break existing Lua 5.1 code.
If you build LuaJIT 2.0 with a special flag enabled (which the versions of LuaJIT distributed by LÖVE don't have), then goto cannot be used as a variable name anymore, which makes it more compatible with Lua 5.2. That's the line you quoted.

[Ranguna259]

Then we should add another rule, "goto" should not be used to name variables.

Why is it so important to have goto anyway? Count me in tho.

This is the Unmantainable Code project, that's why

Enough jibber jabber, lets get loving!

Code: Select all

function love.load()

end

function love.draw()

end

function love.update()

end

Not just yet , people've said that we won't have a fixed theme but we could have a starter theme just to start up the code, using the basic LÖVE structure would be kind of vague, don't you think ? We'll need something more constructive, something that works like a mini game, a simple really small minigame, what do you guys think ?
